The answer was in our signatures all along

Great survey Principles!
It reflects the results of studies without being influenced by implant industry or surgeons.
I know there are limitations, for example, if the signatures are not update after a revision, but in general the data shows a great success of penile implants for the treatment of ED.
Cudos to you an thanks to all members of this forum, you all are doing a greta work and help others to find the solution!

100% agree with Dan. This is an absolutely stellar find by Principles. Dude, you're a super smart man! This table on mechanical failures is more than just enlightening, it provides profound, tangible hope for every brother on this journey. The data is incredible: the fact that 50% of IPP implanted men are still using their original, functioning devices after 20 years is a powerful testament to their durability and reliability. The failures happen only to the 1%. The 2.5 years median time to failure for Titan is just a 1% problem. It also proves a critical point: The reason we don't hear from these 20 year veterans on forums like FrankTalk is simple. They don't have time. They are too busy having sex. Get implanted. Have the best sex of your life. Age is just a number once you're implanted.

I think the data is encouraging.

I do wonder if some of the posters had an implant and experienced problems, then posted on Frank Talk.
That could add to the failure rate.

I also believe that many guys got an implant without issues and never bothered to post.
All that means the survival rate could be slightly better than the data suggests.
